Working with Korean enterprises for building smart farms in Vietnam


The world population will reach 9.7 billion by 2050, causing global agricultural production to increase by 69% between 2010 and 2050. To meet this demand, farmers and agricultural companies are turning to the Internet of Things (IoT) for analytics and increased production capabilities.

Farmers have begun to use a number of high-tech farming techniques and technologies to improve the efficiency of their daily work. For example, sensors placed in fields allow farmers to obtain detailed maps of both the terrain and resources in the area, as well as variables such as acidity and temperature of the soil. They can also access climate forecasts to predict weather patterns in the coming days and weeks.

Farmers can use their smartphones to remotely monitor their equipment, crops and livestock, as well as get statistics on their feed and livestock production. They can even use the technology to run statistical predictions for their crops and livestock. And drones have become an invaluable tool for farmers to survey their land and generate crop data. From the farmer's point of view, Smart Farms should provide the farmer with added value in the form of better decision making or more efficient mining management and operation.

Technological solutions such as smart farm systems were created to solve problems such as complex climate change, the need to change farming techniques, and improve technology. The application of technology in farming and animal husbandry will increase the efficiency of the value chain of Vietnamese agricultural products, maximizing efficiency.
